This is my first visit to the Wild Animal Park with my camera. Sun was really challenging with a ton of shadows and just low light conditions overall. I didn't bring a flash until I knew for sure it was ok with the Park.

All very nice shots, with good exposure and focus. Yes a wild park is a photographers delight!
Only the lion seems to be a bit off colour and "spotted" (fence in the way...???)
I love the ape's expression... :)

WB is off in the all except last. I like the photos.

Thanks for the comments. With the lion I had to shot through some tree branches. He was the only lion out while we were there so I didn't have alot of options.

These look great. I really like the expression on that gorilla's face.

Thanks!! Can you help me out on the WB? How can you tell its off and what would you suggest I add or subtract? Thanks again for the help!!

I'm not the guy that made that comment, but #3 and #4 look too cold. The last one looks a little warm, but I don't think it looks bad. I tend to like my photos a little warmer than natural anyway. I don't see a WB problem on 1 and 2. I'm using an uncalibrated monitor.

I like how you composed the lion, outlining his face with the brush and nice contrast on the last one. Overall well done!
